Compassion and Empathy

by Robert Neff

Intro for Chapter 5 from Reconnecting with Life

The intent is to stir your emotions to provide a better understanding of the souls of the world, their trials and their tribulations. I want you to feel what it's like to struggle. I want you to experience the world they face and respect what they cherish. I want you to feel the earth give and take with each step. I want you to be touched inside and look at others with compassion and empathy. I consider this chapter the keystone of the book.

Review by Published Poet, Cindy Rickey

Finished reading your book last night and enjoyed it very much. There was a great sense of honesty and openness. I especially liked the last chapter, Compassion and Empathy. It is where you really shine. Good job, Rob!
